Calgary Flames vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction

Both teams are dealing with significant injuries. The Flames are without forward Anthony Mantha (knee) and Justin Kirkland (knee), both expected to be out until at least September 15, 2025. The Oilers are missing key players, including Evander Kane (knee), who is expected to be out until at least April 18, 2025.

Given the Oilers' strong home performance and the Flames' struggles on the road, Edmonton appears to have the upper hand. However, the Flames' need for a win to stay in the playoff race could serve as a strong motivator. Considering the Oilers' injuries and recent form, this game could be closer than the records suggest.

Prediction: Edmonton Oilers 4, Calgary Flames 3

For bettors, while the Oilers are favored, the Flames' desperation and the rivalry factor could make them a tempting underdog pick. The over/under is set at 6.5 goals, and given both teams' recent defensive struggles, the over might be a favorable bet.
